Description
With 1 in 6 individuals experiencing infertility challenges with their family building, infertility is a major life event that introduces the stress and burden of uncertainty in addition to the demands of treatment. Research has demonstrated that the infertility experience contributes to similar levels of depression and anxiety as navigating the experience of cancer. Dr. Andrea Braverman will discuss the mental health impact of infertility challenges and review evidence-based interventions for various populations.
